"Dynamic Page List", if I recall correctly. It goes through the database and presents a list of pages that match particular search criteria - pages that do or do not have particular categories, or links to particular sites, or a few other things.
The nice thing is that one can define up to four search criteria. The not-so-nice thing is that it doesn't accept user input; one has to "hard-code" the search. (But if you want to find, for example, all pages Banned on TV Tropes that link to imdb.com, or all Stubs about Musicians, DPL can do that for you.)
EDIT: Two more examples are on my ATT sandbox page - 'Pages in category "No Real Life Examples, Please" that do not use the template "noreallife"' and 'Pages in category "Death Tropes" that do not use the template "deathtrope"'
